Texas Hold’em Odds and Probabilities

There are a lot of games you can play at an online casino – Blackjack, Roulette and Craps are just some of the games, but only one offers the thrill of going head-to-head with your fellow players and seeing who comes out on top.

Texas Hold’em, whether in a casino setting or just with your friends around the kitchen table, is a fun game, with a far greater element of skill than you get from most gambling games. To help you with the skill component, it’s well worth trying to get your head around some of the odds and probabilities of the game, in order to keep your betting sharp and help you assess how the hands are likely to go.

Not all the numbers are big and impressive – the odds of a pair turning up is usually about 28:1, but the odds of a Royal Flush are a staggering 30,939:1 and makes the rare occasions that they do turn up all the more incredible.

With that being said, it’s probably also worth remembering that if you end up with a suited King and an Ace in your hand, you’ve still got a good chance of landing a powerful pair so don’t just bank on the flush!
